Sautee the onion in butter until tender. Stir in 1 can of chicken broth, bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat, simmering for 15 minutes. Blend or process the broth mixture until smooth and return to the saucepan. Add the other can of broth, pumpkin, salt, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground pepper, mixing well.
